What is something related to the metric system?

Answer 1

To convert in metric it is just a matter of moving the decimal left or right depending on how big or small the prefix is.

One metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second.

One kilogram is approximately the weight of one liter or 0.001 m3 of water.

One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one m/s2.

One pascal is the pressure of one newton on a square meter.

One ampere is approximately equal to movement of one coulomb charge over one second.

One ohm is the resistance that requires one volt to generate one ampere current though it.

One joule is the amount of energy spent by one newton on force ovar one metre distance.

One watt is the power generated by one ampere over the voltage of one volt or the power generated by doing one joule of work in one second.

One siemens of the conductivity of one ohm resistance.

100 celsius degrees is the approximate temperature water evaporates.

0 celsius degrees is the approximate temperature ice melts.

Temperature in celsius is the kelvin temperature minus 273.15.

One becquerel is one radioactive decay per second.

One farad is the electirc capacitance that generates one volt voltage from one coulomb of charge.

Answer 2

SI units are always metric units.

Further Answer

SI is the latest version of the metric system, which has gone through several changes since its first introduction. Within recent times, we have had the 'cgsA' system (centimetre, gram, second, ampere) system, then the 'mksA' (metre, kilogram, second, ampere) system and, now, SI, which is probably here to stay!

Answer 3

They areall multiplied by 10. For example deciliter (10 liters), hectoliters(100 liters),kiloliter(1000 liters),etc...

Answer 4

In the metric systems, unlike other systems, there is only one unit for each measurement; e.g the only unit for length is the metre. For lengths much longer, or shorter, lengths we use prefixes to indicate the fraction or multiple of the metre.

For short lengths the fractions are thousandths, millionths, billionths; for which the prefixes are milli-, micro-, and nano-.

For longer lengths, the multiples are thousands, millions, and billions; for which the prefixes are kilo-, mega-, and giga-.

The prefixes indicate the fraction,or the multiple of the base unit.

Answer 5

Units for measuring the same characteristic, but at different orders of magnitude, are related by multiples or factors of 10 or 1000.

Units for measuring different characteristics are usually related by a 1-to-1 relationship: for example, a force of 1 newton will accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram through 1 metre/second2; a pressure of 1 newton per square metre is 1 pascal, and so on.

Answer 6

i think that the sytem international and the metric sytem are the same system with different names
